Adrian would like to do a rough pass while we are all here, to agree on whether the idea works well enough conceptually for him to invest his Christmas holiday in developing it in full.
Adrian & I have been working on possible vocal lines for "The ConstruKction Of Light". My brain is not able to handle the cerebration needed to hold one line, then split it into two lines of alternating notes, and play each in turn as independent creatures. Once the individual parts are in the body this is not difficult. But while the brain & the body believe the two lines are one - pain, suffering, misery, death, terror & bad notes. The pitiful presentation on guitar is recorded to haunt my declining years, & hopefully help Adrian test the singing.
The garage is vibrating. Trey has demonstrated his Dan Electro to the wonderment, edification & approval of all. Not merely a pitiful looking piece of balsa wood with weedy tuning pegs after all - an instrument this is, that is, in the hands of Curtis Conway Gunn the Third.
Ralph Vaughan Williams is sitting on my head: "In The Fen Country" is playing in the computer's Playstation as I enter this Diary.

Mass squerning on either side of my head. It's not RVW but Crim. "Light" on my right and "Larks' V" on my left.

The guys have left. We have listened to the first full through-run of "ConstruKction Of Light". Did I mention that "Lark's IV" makes "Lark' II" sound like a lullaby?
This from T.Lev by e-mail yesterday:
"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." - Hunter S. ThompsonAnd today from Dan Kirdorffer:
"Would David Vermette actually be David Kirkdorffer disguised, or are the Crims a common target for gift baseball caps from people with first names David?".Too true. My overheated brain has fused two Davids into an inter-delusional composite of morphic Davidistic frenzy.
